    I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I dont want to go through all pages haha I just want to do the emblems and the chrome strip below my drivers and passenger windows. How long can I expect the look to last before it starts peeling?

    Depends, I have had my wheels and rear bumper plasti dipped for almost 7 months now and no issues, only touch ups to the rims after balances since it comes off with the weights. you can always touch it up but if you want permanent then I would suggest sand, prime, then paint

    You tube "dip your car." Most people just do the lower valance and leave it at that.

    Like I said, most people just do they're valance but If I were to do it I would probably do the fender flares as well because the fronts integrate with the bumper. That's just me though.

    I think it'll look good. Definitely might be the only on here with it. If I had paint damage as bad as you say it is then I would do it.
